Two lovers locked their wrists with toy handcuffs as they intended to make a vow at the top of a hill but their romantic trip turned bitter because they lost the key halfway, a newspaper reported today.

The couple showed up in a fire brigade in Zaozhuang, Shandong Province to seek help on Tuesday afternoon, saying they had been locked by the imitation handcuffs for 20 minutes.

"Their hands were swollen and had turned blue when they came," a firefighter said.

The man's hand was freed after 10 minutes but the woman's hand was unlocked after another 10 minutes, the Qilu Evening News reported.

The couple said they bought the toy handcuffs from an online store and decided to use it to show devotion to each other on the hilltop.
